Son of Goracle Busted
Al Gore III, son of the Goracle, has been arrested for driving his Prius Rodney King style at over 100 mph at 2:15 in the morning. Inside the Pious, police found a traveling pharmacy that included marijuana, Xanax, Valium, Vicodin, and Adderall. Al the Third didn't have scripts for any of them.
Poor kid. According to liberal ideology, no one is responsible for their own behavior, so he must have had a lousy upbringing.
He's been arrested for driving around with pot in his car before. Last time he had to take substance abuse classes. Apparently he didn't do any better in them than the old man did at Vanderbilt Divinity School.
In separate incidents, he has also gotten in trouble for reckless driving and for drunken driving. The guy could almost pass for a Kennedy.
Albert III is an associate publisher of the pietistically named GOOD Magazine. If he really wants to do some good, he ought to throw away his car keys — since our system apparently doesn't have the sense to take them away, once and for all.
The Goracle has expressed satisfaction that his son is "getting treatment" for being a victim of whatever affliction forces him to break laws and put other people's lives at risk. He wants to leave the whole thing as "a private matter."
There is one surprising note to the story: Who would have thought a Prius could go 100 mph?
On tips from Wiggins, Steve, and Nanc.

Like father like son. No surprises here.

And he has that same smug look on his pasty face. Let's see if he gets treated any better or worse than Paris Hilton.

Like all prominent Dems (or relatives of prominent Dems), he will get kid glove treatment from the press, unlike Republicans and their relatives who get caught in similar circumstances. But mind you, there's no double standard.

I have been developing a theory, that when a person accumulates a great fortune, if he does not keep his children involved in its upkeep, by the third or fourth generation, that fortune will be in the hands of someone else. Consider the Rockefellers and the Hiltons. I don't think either Nelson or Jay Rockefeller would know what to do with a barrel of oil, nor would I want to know how Paris would run a hotel.

I believe it's called "regression to the mean," James.

BWHAHAHHAHAAHHHAHAHHAA! The Goreacle III, busted. Why do libs need drugs and booze to get them through their pathetic lives? Never mind, I answered my own question.

He must have been going down an extremely steep hill to get one of those turds up to 100mph.

Maybe he had one of those nitrous oxide boosters on it like they had in the ROAD WARRIOR?
Whooooooooosh!!!!!!!!!!!!
Al Bores son looks like a pasty white fat version of Jack Bauer.

Wish we could insure that algoreIII gets Scooter Libby's judge, jury and prosecutor. Can you imagine 30 months in jail, incarcerated while appeals are pending, no probation, no bail -- think the MSM would be going nuts right about now? What a horrible miscarriage of justice! Blah, blah, blah . . .
But he's a Dimocrat, and doing his very best to imitate the Kennedys (always a winner with the libs), so he'll walk with the proverbial "slap on the wrist" (and maybe not even with that). Algore will make sure all that dope gets to the homeless people who really need it (though he might keep the weed for himself).

Now that son of Goracle, not some Republican, has proven an environmentally acceptable car can go fast: will we have the political will to restore the old speed limit on the Interstates (80mph) originally lowered to save gas? IM your Congressperson, if you dare

Who the hell was his driving instructor? Patrick Kennedy?

Better Patty as instructor than Ted.
No telling what we'd find at the bottom of the drink.
(alcoholic and otherwise).
